Bootcamp outcomes reports are always bullshit. I used to work at a bootcamp and spent a few days digging into popular bootcamp outcome reports. Basically they all wittle down the qualifying students per graduating cohort until they have a good number.
Reasons to eliminate a student from your outcomes report:
1. Didnt finish the program
2. Didnt complete "career commitments" aka xx number of applications per week, x number of meetings with career counselors per week, responding to all emails from bootcamp within x days - for 6 months to 1+ year
3. Didnt pay tuition or missed a tuition payment
4. Had too many absences during the bootcamp
5. Received a job offer but turned it down
6. Accepted a job offer that wasnt tech related
7. Graduate just doesnt respond to outreach from bootcamp
The 30%-50% actual placement rate is pretty realistic. I later went through the same bootcamp I worked for and my graduating cohort was probably 30% to 40%.
